Our streets have become so optimized for motorized travel they are no longer safe for pedestrians, cyclists, and other forms of non-motorized travel. If we encounter inconvenience on the street, our culture expects technological innovation to remove the inconvenience. Pedestrian tunnels or overpasses could be built but doing so every 100 yards is expensive. If instead we choose another mode of transportation appropriate for the distance travelled, we still reach our destination and avoid the inconvenience. For an illustration of this choice, see the chart at Laguna Streets.
